B-
"Writer/director David Ross crosses a line into gratuitous exploitation by accentuating semi-pornographic settings to incite mixed emotions. The sensual side effect could work as a way of bringing an audience into the story's cruel discussion on human natu"  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2.5/4
"A striking yet thoroughly uneven debut from David Ross..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

"Woefully reductive and painful."  Village Voice  Ed Gonzalez

D
"Is Ross trying to mimic Michael Haneke, daring his audience to be disgusted by the very titillating premise which probably brought them to the movie in the first place?"  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

"Ultimately plays out as weakly as an actual adult film."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

1.5/4
"Daddies, don't let your daughters grow up to be babysitters, because according to The Babysitters, it's a gateway to whoredom."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
